Some server side libraries do not accept multipart/form-data boundaries
with less than 5 dashes. Changing the line in sub boundary from 

my $size = shift || return "xYzZY";

to

my $size = shift || return "-----xYzZY";

fixes the problem.

The selected answer in this stack overflow entry makes it clear why the current behaviour is correct, and the referenced server-side libraries are wrong.

Do you want to close this with "not our problem", or make HTTP-Message more resilient to this sort of thing?

I think it's safe to close this. Thanks, @neilb!
